UFC Is Going Head-to-Head With April 17th Strikeforce Show on CBS

Dana White confirmed today that UFC is running a show on April 17th, head-to-head with the announced Strikeforce show on CBS. The event would air most likely on Spike TV. The Wanderlei Silva vs. Yoshihiro Akiyama match is not the main event. The only thing confirmed is they are trying to finalize a Matt Serra vs. Mike Swick semifinal fight today.

There had been talk of a possibility that if UFC scheduled a show on that date, CBS may move the Strikefroce show to April 24th, which would go head-to-head with the WEC PPV in Sacramento.

Even though the April 17th show was not announced yesterday, the issue of the Observer that came out yesterday has a lead story analyzing the whys of this head-to-head battle.

That...event...is...awful.

4 name fighters, 0 fighters relevant to the titles.

Akiyama vs. Wandy should be a good scrap, though.

It should be noted that neither my brother nor his boyfriend (both of which are the only hardcore MMA fans who are also homosexuals that I know....should it be mmgay fans? God, I can't wait to tell him that.) find "sexiyama" attractive.

*EDIT*

I realized after I posted this that this post is almost entirely pointless.

..sorry, I guess. I'm gonna edit it, but not delete it. That's how I roll.

Haha, honestly though Asugar, wouldn't you have to agree that a bunch of good fighters not in title contention in a UFC card is going to be a better show than Title fights under a Strikeforce card? I watch Strikeforce because it's free and it's MMA but if I had to choose on one night I'd take a UFC card over a Strikeforce card any night of the week.

Maybe they'll sign Rolles Gracie and earmark him as their next BIG thing!!!?....No?
